So last night I met William Gibson. What a super nice man. I was, I think, only slightly to mildly retarded while speaking to him. He said very nice things to me and it was a pretty great and extremely surreal experience. I kept having flashbacks to watching him on Prisoners of Gravity as a teenager.
Aside from the personal meeting, the Q&A itself was inspiring. My ongoing creative struggles seem small and ridiculous when compared with the pressures and ups and downs of a quarter century career largely saddled with the expectations of others.

I must reiterate zouhair’s comments. We, your people, demand further details. If not for us, for history, man.
I bet he had less than a gigabyte of personal storage on him, didn’t he?

I didn’t quiz him about his personal storage. I’m assuming he had a cell phone and that’s about it. He told me he listens to music mostly in his car so I don’t think he has an iPod or anything.
There wasn’t anything very gossip-worthy. He said a lot of super nice things to me which modesty prevents me from blogging. He’s a very, very tall man.

I met him at a book signing. I was so stunned, I could only talk to him about Burning Chrome and Bears On Wheels.

Not to change the subject, but adding to what you said, I think ongoing creative struggles are definitely synonymous with ongoing creativity. At least that has always been the case for me. Props to Brad for getting ready to pump out album #2. Can’t wait to BUY it.

William Gibson is quite possibly the most overrated and awful writer of our times. His gratuitous abuse of punctuation and run-on sentences is mind-boggling. How the fuck did he ever get so popular?
